    Each student will have until May 19th to complete the following: 

    • Design and build a single-story cabin/cottage that is between 600-900 square feet in scaled inch units using a gabled or shed roof that is removable using foam core and X-Acto knives. 

    Constraints: 

    • Your completed scaled floor plan drawings and structure need to include the following features: 

    • A common room 

    • Kitchen area 

    • A bathroom that is large enough to have a toilet, shower and vanity 

    • Bedroom  

    • Interior storage/utility closet  

    • Interior door(s)-- cut outs are acceptable 36” scale 

    • 2 Exterior doors—swing in 36”scale 

    • 5-12 windows 

    • Your design can show vaulted ceilings, flat ceilings and/or both 

    • The longest side of the house cannot be longer than 36’.  The width cannot be longer than 26’. 

    • The finalized scaled drawing will be copied, and one will be glued to mounting cardboard with foamboard-constructed building sitting on top of the drawing. 

    • Observe and practice proper safety practices while using X-ACTO and inline knives. 

    • Complete all project deliverables by May 19th. 

     

    Project Pacing  

    • Research possible solutions 

    • Sketch and present 5 footprint solutions to Mr. Brown starting Wednesday 

    • Once a shape has been chosen, determine the length and width of your structure making sure that it falls between the acceptable square footage. Plan out room placement and sizes. 

    • Begin final scaled down version on ¼" grid paper. 

    • Walls need to be representative of 6” thick 

    • Completed drawing needs to be signed off by Mr. Brown 

    • Begin measuring and cutting walls, windows, and doors on foamcore. 

    • All doors need to be 7’ tall and 3’ wide 

    • All rooms should be large enough to accommodate features.
